Ingredients
Scale
Avocado Fries
- 1 large avocado (ripe but slightly firm)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (more as needed)
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons non-dairy milk (plain, unsweetened)
- ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
- Oil spray
For Serving
- Chipotle mayo (for dipping)
Instructions
- Cut avocado: Cut the avocado in half, remove the peel and pit, then slice into ¼-inch thick slices for optimal crispiness and cooking.
- Prep coatings: In a small shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Pour non-dairy milk into a separate bowl. Place panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
- Coat avocado: Using one slice at a time, dredge the avocado slice in the flour mixture with your dry hand, then dip into the non-dairy milk with your wet hand. Finally, coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs on both sides. Arrange the coated slices evenly in the air fryer basket.
- Spray and air fry: Lightly spray the avocado slices with oil spray. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. No preheating of the air fryer is necessary. Season hot fries with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Serve the crispy avocado fries immediately with chipotle mayo for dipping. Enjoy fresh for best texture.
Notes
- When coating, use one hand for dry ingredients and the other for wet ingredients to avoid clumping and ensure even coverage.
- For oven baking, preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange coated avocado fries on parchment paper, spray with oil, bake for 10 minutes, flip, spray again, and bake for another 10 minutes until golden and crispy.
- These fries pair well with chipotle mayo or vegan Dijon aioli as dipping sauces.
- Use ripe but slightly firm avocados to maintain shape during coating and cooking.
- Best enjoyed fresh for maximum crispiness.
